[Mageia-dev] Question about mysql-workbench documentation license

Tue Nov 20 03:41:05 CET 2012

Hi,
+
+In Fedora the bundled documentation of mysql-workbench has been removed
+because it isn't distributed under a GPL license. However, according to
+this parte of the license, it seems that it can be distributed if it's
+distributed along with mysql-workbench:
+
+----------
+
+This documentation is NOT distributed under a GPL license. Use of this
+documentation is subject to the following terms:
+
+You may create a printed copy of this documentation solely for your own
+personal use. Conversion to other formats is allowed as long as the actual
+content is not altered or edited in any way. You shall not publish or
+distribute this documentation in any form or on any media, except if you
+distribute the documentation in a manner similar to how Oracle disseminates
+it (that is, electronically for download on a Web site with the software)
+or on a CD-ROM or similar medium, provided however that the documentation
+is disseminated together with the software on the same medium. Any other
+use, such as any dissemination of printed copies or use of this
+documentation, in whole or in part, in another publication, requires the
+prior written consent from an authorized representative of Oracle. Oracle
+and/or its affiliates reserve any and all rights to this documentation not
+expressly granted above.
+
+----------
+
+My interpretation is that even if it isn't GPL'd we can distribute it if
+it's bundled with mysql-workbench. Is this correct ? if not then I'll apply
+the patch form Fedora to remove it too.
+
+Cheers,
+-- 
+Juancho
